The 1892 Connecticut gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1892. It was a rematch of the 1890 Connecticut gubernatorial election. Democratic nominee Luzon B. Morris defeated Republican nominee Samuel E. Merwin with 50.31% of the vote.
Unlike the previous election, which resulted in a deadlock and neither candidate inaugurated as governor, Morris's win was not challenged this time, and he was inaugurated governor on January 4, 1893.
